Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was horrible. It was dirty and the mirror was so damaged I could not see myself in it. Please have someone from Expedia conduct a visit of this facility. It was so bad that we only stayed there one night. Fortunately we were refunded the cost of the two nights we had booed. We’re so upset with this horrble experience that we won’t use Expedia again,

Very dirty with mattresses in the dumpster
It was the dirtiest motel I’ve ever stayed in. I had to ask twice for towels and washcloths, and they were stained and old the shower was filthy the dumpster was full of mattresses. I’m hoping there was no bedbugs. I didn’t sleep all night because it was so dirty and I was worried about bedbugs. The guy at the desk was friendly, but it was an awful experience.
